Start your Engines

Standing in front of the NASCAR HALL OF FAME 5/2013
In spite of the fact that my "Hero" is only notable by the Large Brick in Row 3, off to the left hand side of the front doors, I enjoyed my journey through the Hall of Fame.  I suspect that in part was due to the beautiful day, the LugNut sighting, and the Movie theme.  The building was well thought out.  I particularly like the banked road with the cars lined up.  I was fortunate enough to be a part of the NASCAR family when one was able to  walk through "The Pits" after the conclusion of the race.  The experience was enhanced by having a parent on a pit-crew.  We were able to sit in the cars. We were in the thick of the end of the race mayhem.  Fans looking for autographs. Crew and Driver throwing back a few cold ones. Jokes. Stories. Excitement.

I have climbed up the banks of "The Monster Mile" innumerable times. Gritty. Smelly. High.
